How can I do something like this?

[fervent tapir]

RemoveItem<ScriptObject_Weapon>(slot);
public void RemoveItem<T>(T type, int id)

I currently use a string to differentiate between different item classes, but I was wondering if there was another way to do this so I can future-proof, However, my idea of implementing this is producing an error. Any advice?

you should share the errors to make it easier for people to help.
In this case, you're defining a parameter of type T but just not supplying a value to it when calling RemoveItem<ScriptObject_Weapon>(slot);. the error would tell you this

if items have IDs, i don't see why you'd need this type in the first place though.

[fervent tapir]

It's for categories, ie weapon, items, apparel, etc

[harsh remnant]

the ID could be unique per category regardless

either way you either need to supply a value for that T type parameter, or just remove it. Realistically if you don't need the generic that can be removed too

I DID find a workaround, using typeof. Not EXACTLY what I wanted to do but it's much better than what I was doing before

Still makes no sense why youd ever need the type here unless youre storing this in some dictionary of <type, list<type>>

Can you show the implementation of RemoveItem

[fervent tapir]

@harsh remnant I can but currently I'm away from my computer and won't be back for a while.

I can at least tell you the inventory has different lists for different item types. This function is simply does an if/else statement to find the correct item type, and accompanying list, and then removing the 'slot' from the list

I could use an enum, but if I ever wanted to add more item types, Id have to add to the enum and all scripts thereof. Enums can also get messy that way, I've learned

[harsh remnant]

You dont need an enum. A dictionary of <type, list> would be fine here and would allow for infinite types without modifying the implementation of RemoveItem
